Thoso, answer iiijj; tlia socond quoHtionnairo were asked IT tlieir names 

 could be uhchI as parl-iei pants, and I wovdd like to lis(- tiioso answering' 

 in llie ;dlinnal/ive so yon can see the diversity oL' interests represented. 



Thank yon. 



Mr. irA'riiAWAV (pi-esidin/^). 'riianlc you very much, Mr. Clot- 

 worthy. I a.i)[)rec,iate yoni- v(M'y tiiou<i;htful and detailed statement. 



Then*, is only one <!;eneral (|iiestion that T have. In any reor^'anization 

 when you arci thinkin^i; per-liaps of piittin<>; some a<i;ency into a new 

 a/j;ency, you are }J,0'in^- to run into trouble. One prol)lem that bothers 

 me is the Weathei- lini-eau. Since the Weatlu^r Bureau is concerned 

 with problems of the oceiui iind of the land as well, do you think that 

 FiSSA will si ill function as well in a new Ji^'ency ? 



Mr. ( ^LOTwoirni V. Yes, I do. I realize th(>. problems we have in any 

 (Hiestion of reoroaniziition. A lin(>. has to be drawn somewhei-e, and the 

 (lecision as lo where iJie line is to be- drawn is most diHicuIt, I believe 

 there is a, clear and loo-ical reason for keeping- tlie Weather ]iureaii 

 with ESSA a,nd making- it a i)art of the ocean agency. Simply because 

 weather on this planet is nuide up ,so completely of those physical and 

 ch,emi(!al i-Cva-ctioivs that take ])lace ovci- th(>. land as well as over the 

 ocean, I doirt think you can separate them very well, and since the 

 phmel, is predominancy a water planet, it certainly follows that oceans 

 conlril)ute in a, N'cry major share to the foi'iinUion of weather systems. 



It is (jiiii-e apparel)!, fiirtlier (hat the same kinds of monitorin**; sys- 

 tcMus wliich we pres(uitly have over land which we use as a (ool to help 

 in the prediction of weather will ultimately be n(HMled throu<'h()ut the 

 uiM'ld oceans in order to complete our synoptic picture of world 

 weather. 



So, therefore, I don't think that there is any reason to believe that 

 the Weath(>,r Bureau's inclusion withiji the NOAA will in any way 

 detract fi'om the performajice of the sei'vice for which it was estab- 

 lish(>(l. Ill fact, if anything-, it will beenhanced. 



Mr. IIa'imiawav. You don't think i( will Ix'-come so marine ori(Mitod 

 that it will fail to serve its other function of performing- weather serv- 

 ic(^ for kind-based activities? 



Mr. ( Ir.o'rwoit'rii V. No, 1 don't. I believe weather is 70 [)orcent marine 

 oriented anyhow simply because of the dislriljutioji of the oceans on 

 ihe planet.

Mr. KAirrii. I ha\(', no (jueslions.

Mr. MosiiKif. Mr. (chairman, 1 would like to conunent on page 1- of 

 this very vij^orous statement by Mr. Clotworthy, at that point wliere 

 he I'efers to what he antici pales will l)e the undei-standable reluctance 

 of the ("long'ress lo i-enew the Marine Iv(>sources Council a/fter June IM), 

 it)7(). r think it is a, \('i"y important point that lie makes there. 



^"^011 will renuvmlxM" thai- I originaJly In( r()<liic(>d legislation which 

 would renew llie (\»iincil for an indelinile period until such point as 

 the (^ono-iH'ss r(>pla;ced it with, some ol her form of rc^oi-oaiil/ation. 



In ( lu^ disci issioii here in the committ(>e, and then later (he 1 louse con- 

 curr(>d complelely and (Jie Senal-e also, it wa's decided to i)ut a da(",e cer- 

 tain (-0 the couctiusion of the Council on June JJO, 1070. I think we 

 acted wisely in doin,g that because we thus set a deadline for ourselves 

 and we thus emphasized, I think, how imperative it is (Jiat we do act 

 in (his session ol. (he Cono-ress on some'siicli concept as NOAA.
